WORLD TSUNAMI AWARENESS DAY (5 NOVEMBER)

THEME: Effective education and evacuation drills.

Tsunamis are rare. But they can be extremely deadly. In the past 100 years, more than 260,000 people have perished in 58 separate tsunamis. At an average of 4,600 deaths per disaster, the toll has surpassed any other natural hazard. Tsunamis know no borders, making international cooperation key for deeper political and public understanding of risk reduction measures.#TsunamiDay2016
